You might try Opera (http://www.opera.com/download/), "the best browser nobody is using." Hit the "+" key and text enlarges, hit the "-" key and it reduces. You can toggle word wrap on or off, and if you want you can just highlight a block of text and hit the speech button and it will read it to you. Great for those of whose eyes are not as young as they were.

rotating the scroll wheel will enlarge or reduce the page on the screen. I haven't tried it in video or music programs but it works in all the browsers I've tried, MS Office etc.
